@DefHalan Because this is a Nintendo website and when arguing it's best to target something you can be sure the readers will understand (and hold near and dear). I can't be sure that he's played Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Madden, FIFA, NBA, Gears of War,or Killzone. It's also fairly well known these games don't innovate, but Nintendo is not. I'm not attacking Nintendo, just stating the facts.

My SD Card with the game on it is just as physical as your cartridge with the game on it.
I love Nintendo, that's why I criticize them so harshly.

Ok then look at when Nintendo has innovated: Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario Sunshine, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask, Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past, Legend of Zelda 2, Legend of Zelda, Legend of Zelda Wind Waker, Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword (Twilight Princess is the only one that I think was by the Numbers), Metroid, Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Bros. 3, Excitebike, Pikmin, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Star Fox, Star Fox Adventures, Star Fox Command, Super Smash Bros., and so many more. Can you name 1 other company that has invented are re-invented video games as we know as often as Nintendo?

1. No, because Nintendo's been around the longest.
2. Now let's look at the games they haven't innovated on. Metroid Prime 2/3, New Super Mario Bros. 2/Wii, Mario Kart Wii, LoZ: Link's Awakening, most mainstream Pokemon games, Metroid 2: Return of Samus, etc. The point isn't Nintendo never innovates, the point is that just because it doesn't innovate is that it's bad. Often enough (as proven by Nintendo) the ones that don't innovate are just as amazing as the ones that do. Sorry if that wasn't very clear.

It is not bad to not be innovative but you can't expect people to think it is a new way to play when you aren't being innovative. It doesn't matter how you create a game, if it is fun then people will play it.
